I want to chase some records in the deadlift. Currently, the provincial record in my weight class (83kg classic) is 275.5kg (standing for over 2 years). The CPU national record is 300.5kg (made this year).

Been training for just over 3 years now. My best 1RM in competition was 230kg, over a year ago. Was lazy about DLing from then until this summer. As of this fall, I've been prioritizing deadlift assistance work. A month ago, I pulled 225kg x 5. This week, I pulled 225kg x 4 off a 3" deficit. I have absolutely no clue where my current 1RM might fall, as I haven't maxed since my last meet.

Next provincials is next summer (where I intend to qualify for nats), nationals will be the following spring.

Are these goals reasonable? Any advice from good pullers would be much appreciated too.
